of_o that_o enumeration_n of_o those_o office_n namely_o when_o he_o set_v down_o to_o what_o end_n our_o saviour_n give_v to_o the_o church_n some_o apostle_n and_o other_o evangelist_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v edify_v so_o long_o those_o office_n

they_o be_v ordain_v which_o end_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o continual_o of_o all_o the_o faithful_a even_o until_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o be_v they_o not_o still_o to_o edify_v by_o these_o office_n &_o to_o grow_v together_o into_o one_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n now_o albeit_o the_o office_n of_o bishop_n &_o archbishop_n primate_fw-la &_o patriarch_n do_v not_o extend_v itself_o so_o far_o as_o do_v the_o office_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n neither_o be_v they_o enrich_v with_o the_o like_a treasure_n or_o measure_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o be_v we_o to_o

therefore_o who_o at_o this_o day_n we_o call_v bishop_n &_o archbishop_n paul_n the_o apostle_n call_v apostle_n for_o that_o as_o we_o have_v say_v they_o be_v join_v in_o the_o same_o combination_n
